Subject: [PATCH 3.4 124/172] nbd: fix possible memory leak

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@...il.com>

3.4.108-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit ff6b8090e26ef7649ef0cc6b42389141ef48b0cf upstream.

we have already allocated memory for nbd_dev, but we were not
releasing that memory and just returning the error value.
